Parallels ® Virtuozzo Containers

An operating system virtualization solution that creates multiple, independent containers on a single physical server and OS instance. Parallels Virtuozzo Containers is uniquely suited to Cloud server virtualization, enabling near instant provisioning and on-the-fly modification of hosting and Cloud server plans while delivering maximum density, cost efficiency and application performance.

Intelligent partitioning

Complete isolation

Dynamic resource allocation

Mass management

Xen ® Hypervisor

The fastest and most secure infrastructure virtualization solution, supporting a wide range of guest operating systems including Windows®, Linux®, Solaris®, and various versions of the BSD operating systems. It provides an abstraction layer that allows each physical server to run one or more “virtual servers”, effectively decoupling the operating system and its applications from the underlying physical server.
